On Sunday, November 7, at 11:45 PM, the Buddhist Broadcasting Corporation will broadcast The Directors on Nederland 2. A documentary (60 min) by George Schouten about the rock band of directors and film colleagues. A story about friendship and individualism, ambitions and illusions, the passage of time, and growing older. In 1984, Ate de Jong, Dick Maas, and George Schouten founded The Directors, a band of feature film directors. Later, several other directors joined, along with actors, actresses, and singers. The documentary The Directors follows the band members at home, on film sets, at rehearsals, and during performances. It is a story about friendship, contrasting personalities, aging, ambitions, and illusions. Anecdotes and archival footage provide a sometimes hilarious retrospective on the lives of the film friends. Time has been kind to them. Everyone knows or has known success. To sharpen their focus, they decide to create their own song to be played later at the funeral of a band member. Band members - director/producer Ate de Jong (Ontdekking van de Hemel, Een vlucht regenwulpen) - director/producer Dick Maas (Sint, Flodder, De lift, Amsterdamned, Karakter) - director Hans Scheepmaker (Voetbalvrouwen, Westenwind, Field of Honor) - sound designer Peter Warnier (Karakter, Simon, Alles is liefde, Phileine zegt sorry) - director George Schouten (Zomergasten, Een zaak van leven of dood, Instant Pictures) - actor Huub Stapel (Sint, Terug naar de kust, Amsterdamned, Flodder, De lift) - director Esmé Lammers (Amazones, Long Live the Queen) - actress Maja van den Broecke (Long Live the Queen, Women's Wing) - singer/actress Monique Klemann of Loïs Lane - director Nouchka van Brakel (A Month Later, From the Cool Lakes of Death) - singer Leslie Doornik - director and manager Dorna van Rouveroy (An Amsterdam Tale, Intensive Care) THE DIRECTORS Director: George Schouten, Camera: Bernd Wouthuysen, Sound: Martijn van Haalen, Editing: Vera Jong, Final Editing: Babeth VanLoo, Audio Mixing: Peter Warnier, Producer: René Mendel/Interakt, in co-production with the Buddhist Broadcasting Foundation.
